2. Do not ask for weapon information availability here. If it's not in idb main site, most likely we don't have the information as well. Do not ask for prices for selling your weapons here as well. This is forum to give information, not to ask for it.

3. Prediction/speculation is not allowed here.

4. If you have a weapon that is not tested properly, and you don't know how to test it, you may create a new post so that the weapon can be tested properly with a rater. Please do not sell it or remove it from your account before the rater is finished. If you refuse to retest the weapon, your information won't be added to the site.

Have a nice day

Mike: Minor updates to this thread

Please read this walkthrough on how to test defence items:

1. The most accurate way to test a weapon is to have a High Defence Boost pet use the item against a Low Strength Boost pet. So find a friend who can help you test it.

2. Check the Neopets Battlepedia to find out which icons the weapon defends, and then equip the attacking pet with weapons that use all these icons.

3. Now, this is very important. Make sure the pet with the defensive item clicks the Go! button second

4. Once the next page appears, apply this formula (assuming YOU are the one with the defensive item):

Standard Icons = Shown Icons Defended * Attackers Strength Boost / Defenders Defence Boost

6. The result is the correct standard icons, and this is what you should report to us

There is also another way, however it is less accurate:

1. Find a 1-player opponent whos hp is the same as your defence
(1-players hp = their str and also = their def)

2. When the result appears, the icons shown = the standard defence of the item, and you should report this value to us.

You may :

1. Post updates of weapons prices changes to this thread : http://forums.finalhit.org/thread-11473.html

2. "Bump" your unupdated thread (aka double posting) after 3 days of no update.

Regarding non constant weapons test results, we need damage based tests instead of visible icon tests. So your test result may or may not get considered.
